Fuck those check points!

Fuck those fucking cops.

Fucking nazis!

YOUR RIGHTS

USE THEM OR LOSE THEM!


The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution provides, "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." Ultimately, these words endeavor to protect two fundamental liberty interests - the right to privacy and freedom from arbitrary invasions.

It's funny. We like to think in 2012 that we're more evolved, but I remember back in the 70's (and there were some exceptions) when cops would actually not search you without a warrant. Unless you were in AZ or TX, you were pretty safe from illegal searches.

No checkpoints in Oregon. They did that for a while and the courts stopped them. My favorite thing was an incident with a local city. They put in photo radar. They also shortened yellow lights to make sure you got caught on a yellow. The problem is the yellow light was too short and they caused some accidents. Got the shit sued out of them.

I'd have to say the "Stop and Frisk" stuff they are doing in NY is way beyond the pale. You can't just shake people down because they look cheesy.

I don't think we're heading to the police state any more than we were, but the shortcuts the police want to take are pretty uncomfortable. It bears scrutiny.

Something Romney said made me a little uncomfortable. States have the right to secure their borders? Uh... I don't mind a produce check, but anything more than that seems a little like the old Soviet Union.

Don't get me wrong.........I have alot of respect for police officers. They put their lives on the line everyday. I wouldn't want to do their job.
And for the most part my dealing with the police I have been treated fair. Actually I have been cut some big breaks. So just to clarify I don't think all police officers are nazis.

I want them there and we need them out there.


So anyhow............ I was wondering whats with all check points in calli


So I googed california checkpoints and got this

For the most part they are DUI checkpoints.

or

Agricultural Inspection or sometimes they will ask you about plants or animals.


I'm all for keeping the drunks off the roads.


Recent California DUI Checkpoints here

I take that on a case by case basis. There is no basic reason you should have respect for cops. Half of them are shit. The other half doesn't stop the ones that are shit. The "blue" culture should make you very uncomfortable.

Blue vs. Us is something that bears scrutiny. Here they even have their own exclusive bar. They should be having a beer with the rest of us. The guy next to you at the breakfast place should be a cop. Keeps a guy human.

If I were to pick, I think military service should be a disqualification for police officers. We are not the Taliban. We are not VC. We are not at war.

/me disqualifies me. But you can't count on self erasure.

Aminfu will be along to tell me how African Americans suffer at the hands of the cops, but I've seen some shit that tells me we got a very loose cannon in general.

It's like OJ. Nobody proved OJ killed Nicole. What the case did prove is that the cops will fabricate evidence, commit perjury, and that DA's will cover it up at trial.

My fathers 3 commandments. Don't lie. Don't steal and Don't be mean... If I swear to tell the truth, you will get the absolute truth.

Bottom line: We got a bunch of totally rotten cops and the decent ones don't stop them.

Rats float to the top.

Considering studies about this, about 15% of people in our prisons are innocent. I'm not happy.

You might consider that our militarized cops are not serving the public.

And the guy cleaning the million dollar horse shit up probably lives in a trailer with no medical insurance. You can probably detect I have no respect for llama people. Ditto horse people of this caliber. The priority people with too much money give a hobby is disturbing. Just to make some glorified, wall-eyed, jackass that can dance. And I've seen those cute little gals that are so talented abuse their horses.... more often than not... Put the little bitch tearing up a horse in the video.... just for realism. It's not surprising. The horses bite too.

Show me a "horse woman" and I'll show you a spoiled, mean little brat. I could go on about how much blood there is in trying to create super horse... but maybe I made my point. It takes special people to do this and not anybody I want to know.

I've worked in stables too, and I've also took a whip away from a rich little bitch and got canned for it. Not bitter. Angry. I don't like this whole business. Anybody who loves animals and looks at the situation objectively would feel the same way. The hypocrisy of how these animals are bred and trained, like these idiots are some kind of humanitarians, is just more than I can choke down.

I do know a couple exceptions, but they wouldn't be serious contenders for this blood sport. You got your quarter million dollar horse. How many did you cull to get it? How many will you cull when their overbred offspring start having problems with being overbred?

There is a right and humane way to raise horses. But you won't get a "champion" that way. If I see a whip or a spur, I'm gonna be pissed.

It is the cost of obsession about a hobby.

Some old goat fuck ranchers I know are as bad to their horses, but they don't pose for a picture afterwards and tell you how wonderful and talented they are.

Did I ruin your enthusiasm for this sport? If I did GOOD!

It's just like the dobies I used to raise. They would never win Westminster. I'm not mean enough to breed one that would. Trying to raise the perfect dog has introduced about 400 genetic diseases, most of them very nasty, into the dog genome. I'll take good and healthy over perfect looking every time.

I bought a dobie bitch one time. She was show quality, but I know damn well they phonied her paperwork. She was as inbred as a pig, and it showed. So dangerous, I had to destroy her. Greed is alive and well in the animal husbandry business. I'm just glad I found out before I bred her. This is from the "respectable" dog lady breeder who got a lot of trophies for her miscreants.

It's wonderful to see these well trained beasts with skilled riders animals that are so beaten they are afraid of their own shadow. Trainers call this "high strung".

I had a Morgan horse that liked to scrape me off on trees. He thought it was funny. His brother was "high strung" but would never scrape you off on a tree. If you clapped, he'd beat himself to death in the stall spooked, but he'd never scrape you off with a tree. You could fire a rifle off of Rusty's back and he'd just sit there. Dogs didn't scare him. Maybe he thought he was a dog.

Rusty could share a trail with dirt bikes. This is the difference between training an animal and whipping one.

Oh... and I hate to mention it... but Arabians aren't "high strung" either. Unless you make them that way.

Here horse... let me teach you takt... a whip will help you keep time....

My mothers horses are all rescues, meaning that they were either off to slaughter or neglected to the point of death.

The horses I deal with, are scary and very un predictable. I bet I could scream and dance drunk behind most of those well trained horses. I might not agree with the ways that some trainers deal with them. (Which goes to say that not everyone actually beats the shit out of them, I know a few people with dressage and jumping horses and they do the whole lovey dovey bullshit. Takes forever to train them right) But most of the time, with these animals you can tell if they are actually enjoying them selves or not.

So rockout I'd have to say that you are not as knowledgeable with some of your statements, doesn't mean that you're wrong. But if you actually watched a few of those vids, and knew how to work with horses you could tell which ones are having fun, and which ones are fearful of the whip.

EDIT/ We have an Arabian palomino mix and she is high strung and bitchy as fuck. She was a horse that belonged to nice people these people always had trouble with her. From birth til the day we took the horse away. Always a bitch, alpha mare attitude about her. Just a cunt.

I would expect a very large fine. Crashing your plane being stupid starts at $20,000. I wouldn't have put that video on Youtube!

I had a friend with thousands of hours including in the air force. Just get a little too ballsy and a little too overconfident.... Bob found Mt. Rainier the hard way. He must not have believed air traffic control when they told him he was gonna hit the mountain. That would be like him

My rant (coming from a pickup truck user):

That's a bold, muscular, and even chic look, but I don't know if it would perform well in practical applications.

Lots of grille and door, not much window or space in the grille. I'd be afraid of limited visibility and poor radiator and aspiration performance.

Tires are pretty badass looking but that kind of tread wouldn't make it much past 30K miles, if even that. Sadly the tires my truck came with couldn't even make it to 38, so I bought some Michelins hoping they'll last longer. They're still too new to tell. The wheels/tires are almost swallowed by the wheelwells when the truck is empty on flat ground. I'd hate to see the look when loaded on uneven terrain. Some pics show it lifted, so I guess I maybe can take that back. The spokes of the wheel continue on to corresponding lumps on the tire. This would be an extremely expensive feature requiring a tire company to manufacture and maintain inventory on a tire design that only works properly with this one model.

The bed is short and narrow, too small to carry more volume than a common compact econo-truck. It is painted steel and stained wood which will scratch and rust/rot the first time you put something sharp or abrasive in there.

Supercharged V-10 engine that goes 500 miles between fuel-ups? 12hwy and 8town average 10 (significantly worse on E85 fuel). That's a 50+ gallon tank at $3.776 US average cost per gallon = $188.80 per 500 miles at minimum (hydrogen would be more). I hope your commute to work is short. Also, the supercharger only works with hydrogen on this model, and not when it's using gasoline. The engine is SOHC which is inefficient. Dual overhead cams produce more power and burn less fuel. This thing is 310 hp which is very low per liter. Hydrogen is super-clean to burn but currently equally if not more dirty to create. Electric vehicles help in this regard, because the electricity production isn't as dirty as gasoline burning or hydrogen production.

The seats are not well padded and not bucketed. That means poor seating stability which isn't just lack of comfort, but also reduces your ability to operate the controls safely and securely on curves or grades, even with the seat belt on. The foot rests in the back don't allow leg room for all people taller than maybe 4 feet. Toyota also has this problem with their reclining+foot rest rear seats in the Sienna.

There are no back-up lights, even though they're required.

There's no designated spot for a tow hitch, meaning the addition of one would really subtract from the look you wanted when you bought it, and no stepping surface on the rear bumper, something most pickup owners use on a regular basis.

The recovery points on the front would get damaged upon first usage.

TVs that big and that close to eyes would cause headaches for viewers while blocking rear view vision of the driver.

This truck has no airbags, ABS, child seat anchors, seat belt pretensioners, traction control, or almost any other safety feature.

The swing-out tailgate would be a major pain in the ass, speaking from the experience of a Rav4 owner. Plus pickup owners use their tailgates as working, sitting, or standing surfaces a lot, and that would be lost here. The front-hinged hood would also be a pain to work with.

There's no A/C and there's no cup holders, turn signal controls, or center arm rest for the driver. No door pockets or glove box.

****

That said, it is a gorgeous work of art. It looks great at a show and has a lot of wow factor. I just have to be practical since I use a pickup truck every day to do stuff that only a good pickup can do.
